Hello I don't understand well, what you want to do. You can cat myfile.txt | psql database or like your sample for i in `cat myfile.txt` ; do psql mydatabase -c "insert into mytable (aaa,bbb) values ("xxx", "yyy");" ... regards Pavel Stehule 2007/7/23, Chuck Payne <cpayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Hey, I have spend the last several days looking for a website or how to that would show me how to call postgresql in bash script. I know that in mysql I can do like this for i in `cat myfile.txt` ; do mysql -uxxx -pxxxx -Asse mydatabase "insert into mytable (aaa,bbb) values ("xxx", "yyy");" I have tried to do what with pgsql and it not working. I have looked at my two books I have and they are very limited. Can some what tell if postgre has flag like -Asse? Or show me a simple script they have do that is kinda like above.
